I kind of take exception to Vrabel being on the list. I think Woodson was a much bigger oversight. (according to wikipedia, and my own memory) Cowher and the Steelers FO knew Vrabel was going to be a starter, but he would be behind Jason Gildon and then Joey Porter on the depth chart.

Woodson, however, was a Steelers icon who continued to play at a very high level for two rival teams after he left.

The very fact that he turned into a Steelers icon means he doesn't make this list. The list is players who got a very small shot, or no shot at all, at first, and then turned into excellent players. Not someone who was a clear star and simply continued to be once they left the team.

So James Harrison would work, since he was cut several times before becoming a star. Players like Kurt Warner (who is on the list) count as well, since nobody even bothered to draft them.

The problem with a lot of these players is that if they had stayed in position, they wouldn't have turned into a good player in the first player. Steve Young is a great example of that: there's no way he could've turned into the Hall of Famer he was with the Bucs. Heck, there's no way anyone could've turned into a good player with those Bucs.
